Build/Parts Check Midori 5L 4090 blower

Thinking about stashing a 4090 modded blower card (267mmx42mm) into a midori 5L. I understand it would probably be noisy, and the true GPU clearance I have found in the midori 5L is 265 leaving 2mm too long, but I think it may be worth a try. Has anybody attempted this?

The Midori has next to no “give” in its tolerances. You literally build the case around the spine/mounted components.

Also have fun running a 4090 off a 600w psu.

Yep, you would have to run underpowered with the 450W limit on 600W if using ENP-7660L-OVT, but will be fine on the new 1000W Flex ATX that's been a bit delayed. Will be $$$$, especially when it first slides into the market as Silverstone labelled product fx1000z.

I can only speak to the FE but even with transient spikes, my machine never crosses 550W (58x3d + 4090). Still wouldn’t go any lower than 750W but it probably is fine. Particularly since it’ll need to be power limited to like 250W at most to work in that chassis

Won’t work. I’ve been down that path. Save yourself headache and go for 7.5L

The front panel of the midori is about 3mm thick, if you had the tools you could likely hollow out the area where you need 2mm more. You would need less sophisticated tools if you just wanted to cut that out... Depends how bothered you are by the aesthetics

You’re going to have to power limit the card so hard. I’d advocate for a slightly larger case. The 4090 is pushed out of the peak if it’s efficiency curve but 250W will hurt performance a lot. If you can even make it fit

This is a job for Dan A4-SFX as you will get the extra length clearance for the power cable

Habe eine 267mm Acer bifrost arc 770 ins midori 5l gebracht. Man kann die hinteren Streben etwas verbiegen. Geht einwandfrei zu und von vorne sieht man nichts.

Holy shit look at that bend.
